As beautiful as those performances are, it almost hurts me to watch videos like this. Why you ask..? Well, I have a boy child who acknowledges NO FEAR. Ever. For any reason. (Two actually, but one is married with kids of his own, and has *mostly* outgrown this - but he has 2 boy children, and I can see the cycle repeating itself, soon...) What we get to see it the end result, but I KNOW there is lots of pain and injuries & blood required to get to the end result, and I am just too old to watch my child acquire the necessary skills - yet unwilling to tell him he can't do it - or anything else that isn't illegal. I believe kids need to be encouraged in their choices, and not forced to conform to what society says is OK - but still - *shudder* I see lots of blood & broken bones in his (and so, in my) future... But I dig the shit outta that song!!!! It's going on the mp3 player as we speak, erm read, erm type...you know what I mean! bb dawtch
DAWTCH: I agree,although it is an impressive performance of skill and balance, wouldn't want ANYONE to try doing this. Did note he was wearing a helmet but this will be of little help if he flies off a wall in front of a bus!
